University of the Philippines Singing Ambassadors

In line with the mandate of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to promote the welfare of the vulnerable sectors of the Philippine society, the DSWD has come up with a project titled “Sing for Me: A Call for Peace and Unity”, for the benefit of disadvantaged Filipino children.

The project seeks to raise awareness on the plight of disadvantaged children, to raise funds, and to mobilize and unify the government, private sector and the citizenry in addressing their needs through the holding of a simultaneous community singing participated and led by choirs that have achieved international recognitions, Metro Manila chorales and other singing groups from all over the country.
